I would boot something like rescueOS (http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=75369) from an SD card and recreate the non-ubifs filesystems (I'm not really familiar with ubifs) then copy the original Maemo files to their right places (should also be stored on the SD card).
Edit: actually, you probably don't need to replace anything on the eMMC to get a booting Maemo, just replace everything on the ubifs.
Another edit: actually, since you already have NemoMobile (presumably not using the ubifs at all), you can probably do that from there.
One more: it looks like all you need to do is extract a FIASCO image, take the rootfs.jffs2, and write that to /dev/mtd5

At least my config file say so (not sure if I ever tested; for sure I can say internal eMMC so external should work, too)
~ $ cat /etc/bootmenu.d/73-RescueOS-2.6.37-direct_SD.item
ITEM_NAME="RescueOS direct boot from SD"
ITEM_KERNEL="2.6.37"
#ITEM_INITRD="rescueOS-1.0.img"
#now symlinked to latest img
ITEM_INITRD="rescueOS.img"
ITEM_CMDLINE="rootdelay root=/dev/ram0"
ITEM_OMAPATAG="1"
ITEM_DEVICE="${EXT_CARD}p1"
ITEM_FSTYPE="fat"
